The Awful Facts of the Rich.

Information for inirm capitalists is
thus given by the Chicago Herald:
Just as the hour for winding up the
days transactions in the stock board
was sounding from Trinity tower, a
well-dressed man emerged form an
Exchange" in lower Broadway and
started to cross the sidewalk. He
was old and rheumatic. A heavy
cane in his right hand helped him to
steady his feeble steps. He reached
the middle OF the walk when man
making his way rapidly uptown ran
against him violently. The rheumatic
leg quivered, the cane and lett arm
waved wildly in the air the unfor,
tunate man would surely have fallen
had not another man, a blue-nosed
seedy cold,looking specimen. started
forward and seized him. The effort
was successful, and the rheumatic
gentleman gladly accepted the proffer
of further assistance in crossing the
slippery street. When he waa safely
on the other side and - the doorway
OF the restaurant to Which he was
bound, he turned to his assistant and
said:
you have done NE q considerable
favor, my man, and l thank you. 1t
would have been a dangerous fall
Pm sure you re very welcome. sir
responded the other, taking off his
hat.
The well-dresssed man was fumbling
in his pockets
You look cold" he said, land hun
CRY, are mt you?'
'Yes sir" eagerly, land l hain't got
no place to sleep nor no money to get
me anything
"Well, here, you get yourself some
thing to eat, and drink, too" and the
rheumatic man slipped a piece OF sill
yer into the outstretched hand and
disappeared.
The recipient bowed and scraped,
and turning walked slowly up the
street. He had not gone tar when he
met the one who had caused the coll
ision coming down. He had got over
his hurry, and greeted the blue-nosed
hero with the laconic: Did youwork
him."
Fifty cents was the response.
The cOllider took the coin, applied
his teeth and added:
as s good, but the devil OF it is.
Bobby, we can't play that game very
often. 1t S clever, but dangerous"

IndOrSinG,

III affirm, says Judge Waldo Brown,
lin the Boston Traveller, chat the
system of indorsing is all wrong, and
should be utterly abolished. believe, "
The adds, chat it has been the finan-
eial ruin of more men than, perhaps,
all other causes"
81 think that our young men especi.
ally should study the matter carefully
in all its bearings, and adopt some
settled policy to govern their conduct,
so as to be ready to answer the man
who ask; them to sign his note.
"Whnt responsibility does one as
isume when he indorses note? Sim
ply this: he is held for the payment of
the amount nfull, principaland inter
est, if the maker of the note, through
misfortune mismanagement, or ras-
'cality. fails to pay it. -
"NotIce, the indorser assumes all
this responsibility, with no voice in
management of the business and no
!share in the profits of the transaction,
If it proves profitable; but with the
certainty of loss if, for any of the rea-
sons stated, the principal fails to pay
the note"

4 Story of a Kiss.

A Circassian was walking along one
road and a woman along another.
The roads finally united into one, and
reaching the point OF iuncture at the
same time, they walked on together.
The man was carrying large iron ket
tie on his back; in one hand he held
the legs of a live chicken, in the other
cane, and he was leading a goat
They neared dark ravine. Said the
woman: II am afraid to 60 through
that ravine with you, it is a lonely
place, and you might overpower me
and kiss ME by force" SAID the man:
How can | possibly overpower you
and kiss you by force, when | have
this great iron kettle on my back, a
cane in one hand, a live chicken in the
other, and In leading this goat? |
might as we'll be tied hand and foot. "
Eyes, replied the woman; but If you
should stick your cane in the ground
and tie your goat to it, and turn the
kettle bottomside up and put the
chicken under it, then you might wick
eddy kiss me in spite of my resistance"
Success to thy ingenuity. woman"
said the rejoicing mal to himself; II
should never have thought OF this or
similar expedients." And when they
came to the ravine he stuck his cane
into the ground and tied the goat to
it, and gave the chicken to the woman,
saying: Hold it while lieut. some grass
Tor the goat" and then-so runs the
legend-lowering the kettle from his
shoulders, he put the fowl under it
and wickedly kissed the woman. as
she was afraid be would.-Chamber'

Her partial surrender to Russia is

Threatened Collapse Of the Minnesota Capitol.

On the day OF taking IL final vote OF the
high license bill in the House OF Representa-
tives, there was IL large crowd in attendance.
To keep it out was simply impossibly.
Fully one-half were ladies. Chairs were
set in the aisles members seats utilized
and every other seating arrangement
captured. and still they came.
The jam was not only inside the
chamber, but extended out to the
main hall and down the stairs to the first
floor. Mr. Rogers was about to go on with
his address when Mr.. Potter called the at
tention Of the speaker to the fact that the
floor Of the house was overCrowded, and
that the gallery was sinking and the great
beams overhead giving way. For an in
slant a panic seemed imminent. The crowd
began to sway to and irO, not knowing
which way to turn, while those nearest to
the doors broke from them. Many hands
were uplifted to point out II wrlnkllng oil
the decorations on one OF the beams and
the appearance OF a crack that indicated
that the supports were giving away.
Others turned to the gallery to see its line
depressed and sagging.
Mr.. Donnely kept his head though, and
after much cofusiOn and delay the gallery
was entirely cleared and the floor of the
house, except Of ladies and few other
spectators. No one was injured, but il the
pressure had been kept up fifteen minutes
longer there might have peen terrible ac-
Cident. The supports were plainly giving
away at the time that Mr.. Potter made
his timely suggestion and avcrted an aw-
ful tragedy.

This speaks highly both for the

We are informed that the father OF

The Principal at one time had some
idea of removing his school to that

Ivy leading citizens here to remain in
our town. He will dispose of the
property and invest the proceeds here
in the interest of his school. We
wish him the success that his talents,
